The fact that the Baccai is still loyal towards the empire is noteworthy...

[@ahmetsedatkaya367]

maybe they were really loyal to shurima and that's why they went through trials, after their failure they had too much honour and loyalty that they didn't turn on shurima. Maybe some corrupted like darkin but those were killed by strong ascended. Note: I like lore but I am not knowlledgable about it, please don't be harh if I'm mistaken.

[@randomname8616]

@@ahmetsedatkaya367 There would be no reason to feel hatred towards the empire from the perspective of the Baccai in the first place. As the quotes say, they either fled out of themselves or they were spared. The fact that they got to attempt an ascension shows they were probably important/loyal members of the Shuriman empire in the first place as you noted, but simply not worthy enough to become ascended. No reason to turn on the empire out of nowhere after that. As for the Darkin, they weren't Baccai. They were regular ascendants who went mad for power over time combined with the PTSD/corruption from the battle of Icathia where they came in contact with the Void.

[@ezraking4176]

@@randomname8616 I'm curious why the Baccai's are considered a failed ascension. Is there some sort of criteria that determines whether the ascension is a success or not? Because the Baccai's look pretty powerful to me, I mean just look at Xerath. Or maybe something about their appearance? that it's incomplete (not fully covered in fur/scales!? lol) or they're somewhat deformed maybe? that some parts are still human? 😅

[@lorenzangeles9626]

@@ezraking4176 They already said that the Baccai's form are similar to how they could've actually been so it's obvious that you're considered a Baccai if the transformation is incomplete (because others can see it and you can feel it yourself)

[@alecboco8809]

@@ezraking4176 probably yes some of them had multiple arms and so on plus some still have human skin which is probably a sign of imperfect ascension but even thou if they are not perfect they are still better than humans and can be put to use

[@jvjv8093]

Sadly, voice interactions only imply relationships but they do not necessarily indicate the real lore accurate relationships all the time. They are really close to it though. With that said, I still think Renekton is not as apathetic as Necrit thinks or as he is in the story, hence Renekton may care for them even just a tiny bit.

From the interactions in LoR, Renekton seems to be in good company with the Sand Threshers so I think he is not apathetics towards them. He even asks how well their crocodile pet is doing.

[@lorenzangeles9626]

Interactions are based on who your ally/enemies are so it's not a good basis of confirmation. That's why we mostly go to the card description, not the VLs

@@lorenzangeles9626 Yeah. They do imply 'what if they met' scenarios but may not be taken canonically. Some are, some are not to some degrees.

[@LSD_N0lo]

Not to like... challenge Necrit's lore power, but when talking about Sanctum Conservator (15:19), he mentions that "we never really learned what the Curator's judgment was." (15:52) But isn't that just Weight of Judgment? Nasus is the "Curator of the Sands", so I assumed that "The Curator" was Nasus. Edit: Added Timestamps

[@Azrimohr]

yeah, pretty much. when talking about the "Curator" in the lore, one would obviously think of Nasus, and judging by the context, it would be wrong for it to not be Nasus.. don't worry Necrit does sometimes miss/overlook details like this from time to time.

[@ayatan2147]

Some Baccai cards even call him the Curator so there's no dubt

[@lorenzangeles9626]

@@ayatan2147 Yeah he's pretty much the "wisest" person in Shurima

[@Trockenmatt]

The Curator is definitely Nasus. If you have Devoted Council out and you play Nasus, she says something along the lines of "It is good to fight by your side, Curator."

[@anotherpolo1143]

Necrit is asking what the judgement is, not whose it is. What is it about the souls that is being judged?

[@kwr1045]

Nasus: "What good comes in mortal greed?" Baccai Reaper: "Punishment. If I serve as an example." There is also a message right there I guess. Some of them might be unworthy to be ascended due to greed for power etc. I swear Nasus is so kind towards the baccai. Despite they were shunned by the people, he still cares for them and gives them jobs to work with him. Good ol' doggo.

[@Reino_X]

So... we really aren't going to talk about the newly aquired lore that according to Renekton, Nasus likes reading trashy romance novels before going to sleep? 😆 Idk why but I absolitely love this little bir of information. It's not that relevant to the plot, it's not all that serious or whatever... but it's a nice look into the personal life of a character and I love it

[@Reino_X]

Well sad that he went mad, I do think that there is a chance of him regaining his mind after nasus is dead or if nasus defeats him though

[@marko4560]

The Curator is nasus, it is confirmed by ingame interactions.

[@Unboostable]

"One life, tho that others may thrive." - It may refere to the ascension, but doesn´t Nasus also say something like "a necessary sacrifice" when ulting? I would interpret it as him taking some lifes (or souls) in exchange for the power to save many others.

[@FlutterSwag]

Considering what the darkin are i wouldnt be surprised in using life force to ascend

[@DyzziMusic]

Yea I took it as in, "you must die, so I may ascend" kind of thing. Maybe a sacrifice is needed to wield the shuriman blood magic

[@FlutterSwag]

@@DyzziMusic targon acting sus

[@Reino_X]

@Unkowned4Ever Yeah I think the Curator's (Nasus') Judgment is siphoning or igniting a soul so that others may thrive, in runeterra you can easely see why he says that because he gains stats whenever you slay units and rite of calling specifically searches him from the deck. I guess i mentioned weight of judgment and rite of calling here.

[@pedrobraganca3115]

That hyenna baccai is so cool. Its really sad to see such cool concepts in runeterra while in league we have seraphine, like there are some pretty cool looking carachters in the shadow isles, like the pig guy and that creepy kid, in the shurima the baccai and other ascended, it would be very cool to have a baccai in game. Shame that riot got "good" at concept art so late

In that case all piltover and zaun characters dont belong either, I mean all the inventions they have and all and then you have the rest of the regions still living in the medieval ages so yeah just not Seraphine but that region in general doesnt belong

[@TheLux008]

@@gerardoalvarado8425 I disagree. Just like Piltover and Zaun use inventions, other regions use magic.

[@BlazingDarkness]

The curator's judgement is just Nasus' judgement. Nasus holds the title of "the curator of the sands".

[@Gidonamor]

Agreed. Which means that the conservatory is probably connected to Nasus' library

[@BlazingDarkness]

@@Gidonamor My theory is that because the Baccai protect the underground tombs, and likely also the hidden libraries of Shurima, Nasus has chosen to ally with them or happened to stumble across them. Because the Baccai feel like failures and are frustrated they basically seek Nasus' validation as a succesful ascended and serve him as guardians of his libraries now.

Literally can't wait for your next vid 😳 u make stories so interesting

[@fis001r]

Nasus has a lot of references to egyptian mythology. He's based on Anubis who is a God of death, so the theme of syphoning makes sense. His spell and the quote most likely reference that in egyptian mythology the dead are tested and either they pas and they re good or their hearth gets eaten by a monster. The weight of judgement card references the process. You hearth is placed in a scale with a feather of truth being placed on the other side. If you lie, your hearth gets eaten. If I made any mistake, feel free to correct me.

[@bananasplit4391]

i’m pretty sure the scale weighs the guilt in your heart, and if it is heavier than the feather it gets eaten.

[@artoriasvoncarstein820]

The Baccai seem to work for Nasus somehow, because he is the Curator they are talking about. The Reaper, the Sandspinner and the two-headed Baccai remind me of the Moirae in Greek Mythology. These are the ones, who have the fate of every person, i believe even of the gods, in their hands.

[@thinkfighttalk2403]

When it comes to blood magic (and potentially the growing thing) it could have something to do with the celestials and the power of the sun disc. Soraka being a celestial may have had a hand in the creation/planning of the sun disc and thus explaining it's ability to restore life like when Nasus was dying and the rivers that flowed through Shurima. However after being corrupted by the void this life magic would be twisted and become blood magic. Nasus, being the smart guy he is, may also know this and also altered it to steal souls.

Regarding their size, while I do agree it is an ability of the Ascended, I don't think they necessarily need a catalyst for their growth (e.g blood drained from the slain in Aatrox's case or souls for Nasus). Remember in Renekton's recent story, he didnt need any of that to enlarge himself. It's like he just pressed R and it happened. This seems to be a form they take to utilize their maximum power.
